I'm going on leave (!!) so will take this opportunity to thank you wonderful, generous people who have contributed to the fish site during the year - you know who you are (and so do I). We've achieved a great deal together (see 'Some stats' below).

I'm already looking forward to more ichthyological interactions in the new year. As a final treat, I have embedded MBARI's very cool video. Thank you all!

Some stats:

With your help, during 2012 we have added over 550 assets to the site including:

over 300 images
nearly 100 movies
55 blog posts
38 fact sheets

MBARI's Challenges of the Deep

As stated on their YouTube channel - "This video uses undersea footage from MBARI's remotely-operated vehicles to show the various challenges that midwater and deep-sea organisms face, and the adaptations they have developed in order to survive in this inhospitable environment."
